Kayser Ridge Receives Colonoscopy and Facelift!
Internal Changes at Kayser Ridge — Colonoscopy!…
Kayser Ridgers noticed some changes in 2010, many of which can be traced directly to Dawn Coleman, a new affiliate of Kayser Ridge, who began providing space consulting and assistance for retreats. Amazing improvements have been made to the downstairs, which is now a dedicated and charming “sleep chamber” capable of sleeping seven people! The conference room is now upstairs in what used to be the second bedroom, and which can be converted back to a bedroom quite easily, which was a brilliant change on multiple levels…
Tracy Roman, among other contributions to Kayser Ridge, FINALLY came through with 3 Christmas gifts, 3 birthday gifts, and 3 graduation gifts in the form of a GORGEOUS chandelier, which now adorns the great room. This gem replaces a yellow wire which previously hung from the ceiling and was the subject of numerous questions from Kayser Ridgers over the years. Tracy is an unsung hero and supporter of Kayser Ridge — and me — and she is a huge part of making experiences at Kayser Ridge possible. And, she’s totally smoking hot.
The pictures below don’t completely capture the essence both Dawn’s and Tracy’s magic touches. Suffice it to say, Kayser Ridge needed more of a female touch, and it has gotten it — man o’ man has it ever! 
External Changes at Kayser Ridge — Facelift!
Speaking of men, Holly Thompson, a long-time affiliate of Kayser Ridge and great friend of mine, brought Travis and Bub with him for a weeklong “mancation retreat.” The result was a great time and complete restaining of Kayser Ridge, which included application of a darker trim to doors, windows, and the Master Bedroom balcony — among other exterior improvements.
I think you’ll agree that Kayser Ridge has never looked better thanks to these guys…And again, Holly, Travis, and Bub — thanks for helping make my dream of Kayser Ridge a reality. Kayser Ridge wouldn’t be what it is without your hard work, dedication, and effort.
Check out the pictures, and better yet, come out and see for yourself!
Mountain YOGA w/Carol Collins a GREAT Success!
For the second time in a month Kayser Ridge R&LC hosted a GREAT Yogi, Carol Collins, (the first was Dibora), and her group of dedicated and hardworking students. The pictures speak for themselves. Just another small group experiencing and accomplishing BIG things! Check them out!
Dawn Coleman, Kayser Ridge Retreat Hostess extraordinaire, helped deliver an experience that Kayser Ridgers have come to expect – unique, intimate, and special! Thanks also to Jody Gill and Mike of Timber Ridge BBQ for contributing their amazing culinary talents to the weekend menu.

Cairn Down!
A favorite cairn of many Kayser Ridgers that was lost to an unusually rough winter returned to Kayser Ridge yesterday. “I’m just glad it’s back—I was having trouble concentrating,” said one recent visitor to Kayser Ridge.

Barry Johnson, PhD speaks @ Kayser Ridge, April 2010
Q. What’s better than a Polarity Management Foundations Workshop/Retreat @ Kayser Ridge?
A. Dr. Barry Johnson coming for the conclusion of the Polarity Management Foundations Workshop/Retreat @ Kayser Ridge!
Dr. Barry Johnson paid a visit, provided some previews of his upcoming book, and shared the latest in Infinity Theory with several participants of the April PM Foundations Workshop. He also ate leftover pie and helped Cliff with dishes and some laundry before the two departed for the Federal Executive Institute to do a weeklong PM session.
Unfortunately, their schedules left no time for cairn building.
